Hair Loss Cure

One of the recent hair straightening treatments that has gained a big following in recent times has been the Brazilian Blowout hair treatment, which promises to de-frizz hair, make it sleek and more manageable for up to 5 months.

However this treatment has recently been in the news for all the wrong reasons – a recent test of the product was carried out, following complaints that it was causing salon workers to experience eye irritation, nose bleeds and breathing problems. The lab tests revealed that the product contained very significant amounts of formaldehyde, when the claim made by manufacturers is that the product is completely formaldehyde free.

At this time, the manufactures are stoutly denying charges of their product containing formaldehyde, which is a probable carcinogen and a chemical known to have other health hazards. On the other hand, the testing agency stands by their finding. Clearly more testing is required to find what the truth is, but in the mean time it is better to exercise caution, and be careful about hair straightening solutions that you may be using.

We spoke of natural hair colors in our last post; hair colors that are good for health as well as the environment. Here are some more products that are good for your hair health as well as the environment –

• Rainbow Research Corporation Henna Hair Dye – A good thing with using henna is of course that it is an all natural hair colorant, but what is also great about it, is that it fades naturally rather than leaving obvious growth lines in the hair that make it clear that hair was colored.
• Surya Brasil – This is another henna based colorant, and is OK to use even if you have had certain hair treatments done, such as straightening or perming.
• Aubrey Organics – This product has been certified by PETA (People for Ethical treatment of Animals) as being cruelty free. Also free of PPD and ammonia.
• Hennalucent – is another henna product that claims to condition hair as it colors it.
• Logona Natural Body Care – contains ingredients such as birch leaf extract and green clay. Claims to offer brilliant color in just 10 or 15 minutes.

So go ahead and treat yourself and the environment right with these green products.
